Detailed explanation-1: -Ischemic means that an organ (e.g., the heart) is not getting enough blood and oxygen. Ischemic heart disease, also called coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease, is the term given to heart problems caused by narrowed heart (coronary) arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing the heart muscle from receiving enough oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -(is-KEE-mee-uh) Lack of blood supply to a part of the body. Ischemia may cause tissue damage due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ischemia is a condition in which blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. Cardiac ischemia is decreased blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cardiac ischemia is decreased blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. When damage or death to part of the heart muscle occurs due to ischemia, it’s called a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI).
